Everybody knows this things explode. Silly soldiers.
They should have just canceled it, played in their "private" beta a few years back and it wasn't the greatest, along with the delays over and over it's turning into Duke Nukem Forever.

Is this new Spec Ops game part of this series of $10 PSX games?

Hah, I'm going to edit my post to add the link. It will make your post even more obsolete!

Titan Books? Urgh. I had hoped that Halo 4 would've got the Ballistic Publishing treatment... 
Tashi would be proud
MLG was all I played towards the end of Halo 3 as well...I was actually good at that one.
Thanks!
We should play more often.
We should, my schedule is so sporadic and I'm usually so tired that I don't feel like bringing you down with me, lol.
I was balls tired last night, and it made the game 100x more frustrating than it usual is, hence my sour posts. Point still stands, MLG is the only good Reach option, even if you get pounded every game!

Thank you Robbert, for letting me know, someone like Homeboyed wouldn't have.
Whatever, if you see me on just hit me up. I would rather play with you than some of the fuckin scrubs I get matched with.
Whew. Thought you were talking about me there for a second...Thank you Robbert, for letting me know, someone like Homeboyed wouldn't have.

Did anyone play the Battlefront 2? The Dark Trooper in that (from what I remember) had basically just a jump-pack. You could hit boost and you'd pop into the air a little ways. I think that would be way better than this sustained thrusting.
Although honestly I just want fucking armor abilities to go away and never return. Whenever I play Anniversary it's just a wonderful feeling.
Edit: Actually that Dark Trooper was able to fly farther than I remember...

Has anyone got Zero Bloom to show up as an option in Super Slayer yet? I've never seen it and I mostly play Super Slayer.

I knew I should have checked before I typed it.
Anyway, I'm going out for a run with a long time friend, will be on Halo later tonight, I expect the usuals to be there.
Edit: Before I go, OXM makes me very happy today, ODST, the best spin off ever made?

Check in on Calum while you're at it, make sure he's not dead like
Unless of course he's the guy you're running with (see how I assumed it's a guy?), in which case, carry on I'm heading home around 9ish, so I'll be on sometime after then I reckon. Could be closer to 10 before I get to play anything.
Awesome. I have all the Halo art books to date, and they've all been great.

Nope, I sure haven't and I'm really sick of the AAs in that playlist. I would play the other playlists that don't have AAs like Armorlock, jetpack and cloak, but the populations are fucking tiny.
My first game of retail reach was on Reflection. With my experience in the beta and knowledge of the map much donging was done.
Seemed like I was playing with people who never played Halo 2 also.

Probably, I didn't know Reflection at all when I got Reach. I didn't have time for Halo 2 MP as I was busy as hell in the Army at the time, so I only really had time for the game's SP. There are probably a lot of big Halo fans who got Reach and were completely new to Reflection.

First week of a new Halo game is always a pleasant experience. So many new players, so many opportunities to inflate your K/D.
Same thing with me last night. Was working on my thesis around 2:30 and took a Halo break. So exhausted so I wasn't even like making smart runs and on top of that Biggy had his friend telling me how to play Reach.
Oh really douche bag? DON'T run at the guy with the sword?
Noted.
Looks like we've got a 1%er here with his big shopping basket!If people need someone to play really sloppy MLG with, I will be around.
MLG even inspired me to do a bit of a tuneup on my tools of wape
So my ACIII knife gif got some... intresting views.
So the hidden blade is now a hidden knife I guess...

You must manage your HaloGAF play togethers carefully, or this can happen!
i've seen it a few times but have only played it once or twice. not arguing whether ZB is an improvement or not, but i really dont like having voting options for gametypes that change the way the core game is played. ZB should not be an option in playlists that feature TU or vanilla settings (and vice-versa)
Reflection only worked in the campaign because of H2. If they had a Lockout or Pit environment in the game it would have had the same effect. It was a big wtf to be playing an area in a level that I played games on six years earlier. It's not the same when you take an environment like Boardwalk and then introduce it in multiplayer or vice versa when it's making its debut in that same game.

It's the third option though, so it will never be played unless the majority wants to play it.

I preferred Reflection over Ivory tower for slayer, as AA made the whole control over the top area are more dicey, and interesting proceeding.
It was a shame that the objective playlist never got so much love, as those elements then broke the map (and the inclusion of bubble shields) for slayer.

I'm anticipating my new place later this month (after my big move!) will not be that contained. I have a pretty righteous sound system and will be living alone so I don't see the need for headphones. As far as wires go I foresee having to be mostly wireless since it'll be in s living room area and not around my desk.

While we are on the topic, any suggestions for a good modem? The one Mediacom (provider) gave me is causing my random web drops, and they don't seem to see an issue, so I may buy my own.

I use wired because I hate that giant battery pack bubble on the back of the wireless controller.
Ivory Tower shined in 1-bomb, and was good for Slayer Pro and Snipers in 2, also. At least I liked it alot then, because of the settings used and the flow of the map. With the changes to Assault in both the map, and in the game settings, it never was quite the same. Sans AA's, I do enjoy the map, certainly one of the best ones. But like most maps not built around AA's, it's not a pleasurable experience with them.

I started with wireless so the wired controllers feel light and flimsy to me; guess it's just what you're used to.
